This was a nice excursion but the accomadations were very
rough.

Yes, I know I am in the Amazon, but for the money I paid
I would think it would be a bit nicer. The electricity did
not work in my bathroom due to a short. There were tears in
my screens in my room and the front door did not shut all of
the way. So every morning there were bugs.

They could use some money to spruce up the main lodge
area as it is not inviting and the bar is lifeless. If they
added more candles it would help so much.

The food was very good and staff was very pleasant

The manager Leon was visable, but did not do anything or
interact with me or the other guest.

The staff at the Curassow Lodge was amazing and made the
trip special for us. The time we spent in the amazing was
well worth the time it took to get to the reserve. The
people were all very nice and it was a nice chance of pace
to be disconnected from reality/technology for a few
days.
